Dr Parimal Thripathi (Dharmendra) is a botany professor & is in Shimla guest house for research. The guard's grandson is sick, but he refuses to go see him as a group of students is about to arrive. Parimal promises him to cover his shift and work & makes him leave.

Before leaving she finds out that Parimal was posing as the guard & secretly develops a crush on him. She leaves her address for him & Parimal asks for her hand in marriage from her elder brother Haripath. Haripath's brother-in-law is Raghav (Om Prakash) who is unable to attend the wedding.Sulekha holds Raghav (Jeejaji) in very high regard & so much so that angers Parimal. Sukumar Sinha (Amitabh) is Parimal's very good friend, almost brother. Sukumar is earmarked by another of Parimal's friend Prashant for marriage to his sister in law Vasudha (Jaya Bhaduri), although Prashant hasn't discussed this matter with Sukumar yet.Now Raghav invites Sulekha & Parimal to Mumbai for honeymoon & Parimal decides that he will go as a driver to seek employment with Raghav. Sulekha will come later saying Parimal has gone to Patna for work. He wants to prove to Sulekha that he is as capable as Raghav & that he can hoodwink Raghav into believing that he is really a driver. Haripath reluctantly agrees & provides him references as a driver.
